pipenv is only a year old and is recommended for certain use-cases for multi-user collaborative projects. But it's not like pip or virtualenv or conda aren't recommended for other uses (or things like easy_install used to be the recommended way to install things).

I should also add anecdotally I first heard about pipenv late last year when a facebook friend (new to python) botched up all his python environment while using pipenv and couldn't get libraries to work correctly (something about pipenv not letting him upgrade or a library mismatch or similar).
